Podcasts about The Detroit News

After 36 years, the Joint Operating Agreement (JOA) between the Detroit Free Press and Detroit News is dissolving at the end of the year. While they have had competitive newsrooms, the JOA meant their back-end operations like sales and payroll were consolidated. Now, they're breaking apart and we get into what it could mean and ways the papers could cut a path forward with Matt Friedman of Tanner-Friedman Public Relations. If we're honest, when most JOAs have ended, one of the papers eventually folded. But that doesn't mean they're doomed, and we talk about some strategies to find a way to not just survive, but thrive.

A recent Lake Effect Poll by our friends from Progress Michigan reveals something we've already known: Many working class Michiganders don't get all that excited about the Mackinac Policy Conference. It's a corporate-backed conference featuring lobbyists and lawmakers, who get to spend three fun-filled days on Mackinac Island's luxurious Grand Hotel. And it shouldn't be breaking news to these elitists since the revolving door between lawmaker and lobbyist in Lansing isn't just out in the open, it's celebrated by many Lansing insiders.
